Shelby Cobra Jagermeister Racing

Here's a quick build before I go away back to work for the remainder of the month. Apologies again for defacing another classic. The kit was originally the Fujimi 1/24 of the Shelby 427 S/C Cobra. I threw the instruction book away and went [...]

1924 Fiat ‘Mefistofele’

This is Italeri's 1/12 version of the original 1975 Protar kit. In 1908, Fiat introduced a chain-driven Grand Prix racing car which they dubbed the SB4. It was used in competition and that is where Sir Ernest Eldridge from Britain saw it [...]

Clean and minty 1/24 VW Polo R

Until recently if anyone had asked me if I was likely to make a model of a VW Polo I'd have said they were mad. However, after a year's development VW entered the World Rally Championship in 2013 and promptly won the first event (the [...]
